The vineyards of Chambolle Musigny are known for their particularly favorable terroir, composed of limestone and clay soils that impart a distinctive minerality to the wine. The "Aux Croix" is a single-varietal Pinot Noir, a grape variety that here expresses one of its best identities, thanks also to the vinification and aging techniques employed by Domaine Clerget.

Upon tasting, the Chambolle Musigny "Aux Croix" offers an intense aromatic bouquet, with notes of ripe red fruits like cherry and strawberry, enriched by nuances of violet, sweet spices, and a slight touch of vanilla. On the palate, the wine reveals itself to be extraordinarily balanced, with fresh acidity and finely woven tannins that lead to a long and pleasantly persistent finish.

Ideal for serving at a temperature of 16-18°C, this wine pairs perfectly with red meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses. It is also an excellent companion for special occasions, capable of improving with aging in the cellar.

Overall, the Chambolle Musigny "Aux Croix" from Domaine Clerget represents an excellent choice for those seeking a wine of great expression and finesse, a testament to the high quality of viticulture in Burgundy.

Winery history

The Clerget family has been established in Burgundy for centuries; the official website traces its roots back to 1268 and a family succession spanning more than twenty generations. In recent years Thibaud Clerget has taken the reins of the estate and initiated a production and commercial revitalization. Some publications also report the acquisition of additional vineyards in 2022, increasing the holdings reported by specialist distributors.

Production philosophy

A respectful approach to the land and traditional practices combined with controlled experimentation: fermentations with indigenous yeasts, careful vineyard work and techniques designed to preserve the expression of individual terroirs rather than standardize the style.

Terroir and vineyards

Located in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, with vineyards and production ties to Volnay, Pommard and parcels in Meursault, the estate cultivates several Premier Crus in Volnay and also owns notable parcels such as the Clos de Vougeot, mentioned in commercial descriptions.
